It doesn’t seem to be working with the usual equation
usual equation?
((ax+by+c)/-sqrroot(a2+b2))-((ax+by+c)/-sqrroot(a2+b2)) =0
umm
it is actually + and -
both are bisectors
one is of acute angle and other is of obtuse
no worries
do you have any issues now?
yeah, because that’s what I thought
hmm
but it doesn’t seem to be right
i’ll try that
alr
feeling like such a dum dum rn

i think i know the answer to this but i just nedded a confirm
Please don't occupy multiple help channels.
would this be no intersection
no
ok so let's first try this
ok
line mn
line MN
- no, line MN is not the intersection of LMN and JON. point M does not lie in plane JON.
It might help to write out all the point on each plane identified and then see what points are in common for each plane
i've highlighted plane LMN in red and JON in green
Since it's a rectangular prism there are going to be four points for each plane
look at this again and tell me what their line of intersection is @formal musk
line KN
there we go
and now
line KN and plane LIJ intersect at a point.
what is that point?
refer to the diagram again.
point K
there we go
ok thanks you

Could anyone explain what this means? I tried to ask the teacher and he was overwhelming vague
q22 or 23?
find x for every point
Ohh
though A should have possible answer 2

For this question, it is certain that when x=-3, x=0, x=1, and x=2, y should have the corresponding value.
i.e. The answer is D.

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?
@zealous wagon Has your question been resolved?
Pretty much, yes.
Simply apply Newton-Raphson
A single equation is a system of equations with one equation
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
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
Instead consider something like gradient descent?
Yes I understand this is a possibility. However for the sake of the exercise, we skip this concept.
Hmmm could consider utilizing gradient descent as a formidable solution.
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?
I dont know if I can show an image, but only this question has stumped me in my online math
You can send a picture
Alright I will
Its this one and one other
let me get a screenshot
its mostly this one though
See if ratios of longest sides and shortest sides match
Okay
And for this one? ive done done fraction form etc I just dont get what to do
$$\frac{11}{x} = \frac{13}{4}$$
Pluton
This would be my guess
okay so just solve this?
Yes
okay thanks so much!
Ill see if it isnt ill probably be back
It was, thanks so much that was stumping me for days lol

@warm pivot Has your question been resolved?
Would the line connecting to the chain middle coming down to the middle count as the radius or the diameter
the green part is the radius
This would also count as an isosceles traingle?
right angle triangle
And I am supposed to find that little red remaining correct?
yes
Would Pythagorean theorem work here?
yup
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
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
9 is correct
yup
no
Or would one of them count as an radius
the chain is 9, the other is radius=15
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
at the top
I would find one of the cubes surface area
And then multiply by 6
Unless theres a faster way
They gave me the whole volume of the object
Ah
Which is 56cm
Yes
And they want the surface area
And there are 7 identica cubes
So converting volume to surface area I suppose
You could say that sure
Find volume of one of the cubes first
That should be simple? Knowing they are identical
it would be funny if there wasn't a cube in the middle and the question was a troll
Lol true
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)
Oh okay
So there are 7 cubes :)
I think 1.333 repeating
Yes one cube
Or just 8
Is your calculator on drugs
Alright
Now what is the side length of the cube?
Knowing its volume is 8cm^2
Idk. I know the length of one face
Side length...
Would side length be the same as the base
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
Would using area x base work
4 x 2
Side length is 2
Using area(face) * 5 since there are 5 surfaces on this cube (one of them is hidden)
So the area of one face is...?
There is 6 faces on a cube
I just explained...
So go ahead
Hmm
Thinking
We calculate the base of a cube and side length correct?
How do I convert from cube to face
If you know side length of a square how would one find its area?
Times it by base
Which is 2
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
find the area of one of the faces and multiply it by how many faces there are

Send work - do you have an expression for f'(x)?
sending rn
👍
Sorry looking over your work - appreciate your patience tho 👍
Looks good up until the very end
Check the last line and the second to last line (in the numerator)
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I can't believe I've gone this far in arithmetic and still can't add and subtract

guys whats the meaning if $lim\delta x->0$
Night Wølf
Your channel's gonna close
But also, read this
https://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/classes/calci/TheLimit.aspx
In this section we will introduce the notation of the limit. We will also take a conceptual look at limits and try to get a grasp on just what they are and what they can tell us. We will be estimating the value of limits in this section to help us understand what they tell us. We will actually start computing limits in a couple of sections.
thanks 🥲
like i understood its application but i am not sure about what it converts like is it delta x or delta y in my condition

Can someone check my work?
I set x = t, solved for y, then plugged that into the second equation
I don’t think that that’s right though since I’d get a +/- after taking the square root of y

There are five people of different height. In how many ways can they
stand in a line, so there is no 3 consecutive people with increasing height?
I know the total without removing cases is 5!/(5-5)! = 120 but how do I continue form here
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
the only cases that you have to avoid are: 1,2,3 | 2,3,4 | 345
haha
What about 135 for instance?
oh I read it as consecutive heights but that probably wasn't the right way
yeh this is a hard one for me haha
it is consecutive heights i think
so like 2 3 1 4 5 is fine
124 125 234 235 345 maybe?
If my interpretation is correct, no because it contains 145
is this exactly how it was asked?
yes
im thinking we need to avoid these
123 124 125 134 135 145 234 235 245 345
thats 10
I guess that would work, just be careful about double counting
ok someone just posted the start of the answer
surely this question is worded weird
if it only wants 123 234 or 345
oh haha
the f?
well that makes it easier
im not reading this wrong right
is that the officially provided solution?
yes
then yea... sounds like it was about consecutive heights
yeh
do you need any help still?
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?
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
yea, not 11, 00, 10, and 01
but normally I do number of unknowns ^ number of things that can go there
or 4s and 5s, whatever
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?
uhh can you show a little work, I didn't do it out lol
just showing the double/triple counting is fine, the rest I'm good with
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
say NNN is the case you're trying to avoid, and AB is the other two numbers
there is NNN AB and NNNBA
yep
ANNNB and BNNNA as well
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
if you are unsure, you could write out all 18 permutations and see how many unique ones there are
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?
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 $R \cup F$.
Ann
you need to explain why $|R \cup F| = 32$.
Ann
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 $|R \cup F| = |R| + |F| - |R \cap F| = 26+12-6$
Ann
$R \cap F = {\heartsuit K, \heartsuit Q, \heartsuit J, \diamondsuit K, \diamondsuit Q, \diamondsuit J}$ if you want to be extra explicit
Ann
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
thats 6th grade(i'm not 6th grade) math and i cannot solve it 
x + y + z = 82
x/y = 2/3
y/z = 4/7
Simultaneous eq.
what
?
I gave the equations the rest is basic algebra
i didn't get what you said...
you have 3 equations relating to x y and z
they are all linear
you can solve them simultaneously
$\frac{x}{y} = \frac{2}{3}$
IntelligentCake
how can you rearrange this so that there are no fractions
3x+2y=0?
what is eq(1)
do you know how to rearrange @timid silo
the first equation wait
whats that
- x+y+z = 82
- x/y = 2/3
- y/z = 4/7
khan academy has good resources on it
so its 2y/3 + y +7y/4 = 82?
ys
i think i can solve it with this
hold on
the y=24
Now we look at solving simultaneous equations by a method of substitution. This involves re-arranging one equation to isolate a variable and then substituting this into the other equation.
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
(2/3)y yes
u should get 16 if y = 24
but i get a way high number if i do that for all the numbers then find the xyz
i got 16128
16(the x)x42(the z)x24(the y)
its xyz
what's the original problem
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
find xyz
value of x * value of y * value of z
24 * 16 * 42 should be answer whats wrong tho
the number is really high but i could ask to my teacher if i found it right or wrong
anyways thanks

i did this question and got
-2lnx +ln(x+1) +ln(x-1) +C
but the answer says something different
,w d/dx (-2log(x) + log(x+1) + log(x-1))
it appears your answer is correct
erm
and perhaps this is an issue of the answer key writing it down in a different form
$-2\ln(x) = \ln\paren{\frac{1}{x^2}}$
Ann
they just wrote the thing as a single logarithm. nothing else

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
@fresh nymph Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
i think some geometric insight might help
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

how do you calculate trigonometry?
im confused

oh you meant calculate sin cos tan?
or triangle?
or angle?
all of them sorry 😭
how do i tell when i need to use sin , cos or tan ?
to find angles
yep
or missing sides in a right angled triangle
,rotate
so basically.. sin is the ratio of hypotenuse to the opposite
oh
if you're trying to find the opposite side, use sin
if you're trying to find the adjacent side, use cos
ohh
alrightt
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse, Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse, Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent or Sin/Cos
sure
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
is y a variable or coordinate
variable
oh ok i think i get it
okayy
thats the expanded right?
ohh
OH
thank you 😭
wait and one more thing srry 😭
how do you do simultaneous questions..
?
wait nvm i remembered i could do it with the calculator
ok?
thank you again

@chilly trellis
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 $x \in (-1, 1)$.

how can i find c2
c1 is 0.10
and i know that
y'(0) = 2
but idk how to derive this
because of the c1 and c2
really and just add them back at the end?
d/dx(c*f(x)) = c*d/dx(f(x))
since i found c1 earlier, would i plug c1 in then derive
so 0.10e^-2sqrt(5)t + c2te^-2sqrt(5)t
sure, makes no difference
you can leave it as c1 and put it in at the end if you want
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.
@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?
no idea what you're trying to do
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
Hadis
you're just not specifying, in math terms, what you're trying to do.
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.
f(x) = x^3 satisfies all of these
It's not parametric
$f_a(x)$
Hadis
what you described isn't parametric either
Where?
where is a here?
I did ask for a parametric function. I didn't know I had to specify the name of the parameter because I didn't even know if such a a function would need more than one parameter
Can you help me specify even more what I'm looking for?
it doesn't, e.g. x^3. so why do you want to incorporate a parameter a
$f_a(x) = x^{3/a}$ also works for $a > 0$
riemann
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.
This was my use case
I want it to be very flexible.
So this is worse than what I have already, even though it does match the properties I asked for
$f_a(x) = x^{a/3}$ also works for $a > 0$
Do you get what I'm trying to achieve?
no because you're being descriptive in your asks
"provide profiles that contain brightness curves" is essentially meaningless
It conveighs intent
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
intent is meaningless if you can't translate it to implementation / math
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
.
I'm looking for something that's not unlike Quadratic Bézier curves.
with P_0 = (0,0) and P_1 = (1,1) and P_3 = (1,0)
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]?
would that always satisfy these constraints?
just generate it and plot it and see
This is the most eccentric curve I can make with a Quadratic Bezier Curve
are you like looking for a family of curves that limit to a right angle?
If you mean the green curve then yes. My curve can't go beyond that
but do you want it to get to that?
That would be great.
x^a works ._.
But only if I can have everything in between the blue and the green curve in that image aswell
well a can be irrational and very big...
what if you multiply this curve by x^a
it would make it limit to the right angle
Not in a nicely uniform way.
If I just wanted to limit it to the right angle I could make it piecewise
so you want it symmetric along the diagonal too?
huh
Depending on a parameter
one parameter?
any number of parameters
oh ok
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.
most of us arent engineers unfortunately
i get that
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
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
That would satisfy this for a huge range of functions I can create that way
not sure, it makes sense but i cant prove it. try it and see ¯_(ツ)_/¯
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

#help channels are meant for homework, soooo no
Yeah.
I asked here because it doesn't actually involve any uni level maths
High school maths turns out to be enough
throwback to the builder who wanted to know if he was being ripped off when buying building products from a company by asking us to compute an area of a weird shape
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
your problem using high school math does not equate to you being able to explain it at that level.
it takes effort to properly curate math problems
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 ;-;
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 $(x-2)^2 = 1$
Spring
and you don't need to worry about 0s in the denominator cus e^(x^2) is positive for any x
@grand carbon
@grand carbon Has your question been resolved?
oh I actually forgot to mention, first you need that the horizontal asymptote is the line y = 0
ooh yes yes i actually got y = 0 as my horizontal asymptote
ok i’ll try that!
i solved for x and i got x = 3, 1
yep! that's right

im doing my practice exam and these r the 3 questions im stuck on
theres an answer key for them but the process to get the solutions is what im stuck on,
Okay, so the first one
You wanna use the expanded form, then condense
I'll highlight the roots
Gimmie a sec
alright no worries
I also wanna test this thing so
4 = 3(x^2 - 2x - 10), 5 = (2, 8, 13, 4) and (-1.09, 1.73)
$$(x-{\color{lime}{(1+\sqrt{11})}})(x-{\color{magenta}{(1-\sqrt{11})}})$$
Hope this works
oh ok i was inputting it wrong
Oh wait hold on
Umbraleviathan
Sorry I had to fix it @plush vapor
Well you just expand it
man you really having fun with this new latex color discovery
Color
Wait hold on I just realized something
@plush vapor there might be an easier way
show me if u think there is
So what if I rewrote the roots as $$\frac{2\pm2\sqrt{11}}{2}$$
Umbraleviathan
Then if you compare that to your quadratic formula
$$-b = 2$$
$$2a = 2$$
$$b^2-4ac = 44$$
Umbraleviathan
I'm assuming your teacher wants it in standard form correct
yeah
yeah put that into the quadratic formula?
Well I just turned the roots into the result of a quadratic formula
I "unsimplified it"
So what would a and b be?
2
What would a be?
1
What would b be?
if -b = 2, b = -2?
Yeah
oh ok
So now what would c be?
