i dont know how the second last line of working out turned into the last line
is that right?
i saw another solution where the 3rd last line skipped to the last line of working out
how?
The 2nd last line is in my opinion useless
Yep not exactly sure where that line came from, looks like they pulled it out of nowhere (might be a miswrite?)
You can get distribute a and b from the (a+b) to the sum term
i can see why this is the case
how would that work?
If K is any number, how do you expand K(a+b)?
o u c, gr8
from the 3rd last line to the last line u distribute the (a+b) intro the sum
Yep
A useful identity if you wanna go down that road is $\binom{n}{k} + \binom{n}{k-1} = \binom{n+1}{k}$ btw
chartbit
This is not yet 😄 ^
Well look at the powers of a and b in the two terms it gave, you should notice quickly
You basically distributed a and b to the same term, it's like if you did:
(a+b)K = abK
Which is wrong of course
OHHHHH
IM SILLY
OH OK
dumbing it down helps alot
ok ty
tysm
that helps so much
i have been stuck on this q for like a solid 2hrs

How is this even possible?
It is possible
no
Yes!
like when you work it out you get (4,6)
Post your work
ok
What did you do to get that
So like
I guess you took HG/FG = 2/3
ok so
X2-X1 so 9-3=6 and then 2/3 multiplied by 6= 4 so x=4
Y2-Y1 so 13-4=9 and then 2/3 multiplied by 9= y=6
So (4,6)
you get it?
Put spaces or \ before it when you're using * to show multiplication
Discord with default anything to italics if you surround text in *
you forgot to consider the starting point
exactly
as shown here as well
what?
its (7, 10)
i don't get it
you forgot to consider the starting point
i used the formula my teacher taught me
dont blindly apply a formula without thinking
i mean
the question is direct
so I just applied it
in fact, all my classmates were so confused
can you show me the working?
if the line started in (0,0) it would work
but it doesnt
you forgot the starting point
which is (3,4)
so if you add the points together
(3+4, 4 + 6) then you get (7, 10) which is the correct answer

quick question
who says it does?
,w calc sqrt(2)^8
,w sqrt(2)^4

,w log(4)/log(sqrt(2))
says who?
my textbook 😭
its good you caught the mistake then haha
can you show the problem and its answer key exactly as they appear in the textbook?
give me a moment as taking a picture would require a lot of work
give me a sec
okay, go ahead and take your pictures
you havent done as instructed...
but the rest shows:
do you have the textbook you pulled this exercise from on hand? Y/N
it is exactly just this problem
this is the rest
i asked you a yes-no question.
Yes I have
physical
okay
can you take a picture of the problem statement as it is written in the textbook, and send the picture here?
no
why not?
because I already wrote 1:1 the solution as written in the textbook
and the problem itself
the context for the problem is
so it's refusal and not inability?
Ann
look
I promise you
nothing will change
even if I took a picture
because it's literally 1:1
the problem is
how did you get from here to log base sqrt(2) of 4?
even if nothing DOES change.
i still want that picture.
if the textbook is screwed up then so be it.
in bulgarian?
can you translate it
?
The problem
is
i speak enough bulgarian to understand the problem.
and the math will still be math
"The number [picture given below] belongs in the interval:"
Intervals being
(2; 5) (4;6) (7;9) (9;11)
and I just re-wrote the solution 1:1
in the picture above
ok asshats
I will take a picture
please tell me what changed
,rccw
what changed is that now we know 100% that it's the textbook's fault and not yours.
no shit
$4 \neq (\sqrt{2})^8$.

i need help with these questions
@cosmic quartz Has your question been resolved?
Can u translate it pls
yeah sure
- In a right triangle with sides a, b, c (and opposite angles A, B, C respectively) a is the longest side. Then applies:
(A) a=b.cosB + c.cosC (B) a= b.cosB + c.sinC
(C) a = b.sinC + c.sinB (D) a = b.sinB + c.sinC
(E) a = b.sinB + c.cosC
and
- Which polynomial is not a divisor of (x-1)²(x³+x) ?
(A) x³ -x² +x -1
(B) x² -2x +1
(C) x² - x
(D) x³ -x
(E) x4 -2x²(x-1) -2x +1
<@&286206848099549185>
<@&286206848099549185>
do you need help with 14 or 1 or both
is this question asking for the right one?
you don't know what grade it is?
what grade are you in
we dont work with grades here
huh okay
i think it would be grade 10
a is the longest side here, so the opposite angle would be A which make A the right angle
yeah
i have no idea
then I can't help you with that question
i dont understand what i need to do
I'll help you with 1. first
k then lets start with the second one
- Which polynomial is not a divisor of (x-1)²(x³+x) ?
(A) x³ -x² +x -1
(B) x² -2x +1
(C) x² - x
(D) x³ -x
(E) x4 -2x²(x-1) -2x +1
do you know how to factor (A)?
no
aight then
you can tell its a divisor for x-1
can you tell if (B) is a divisor for (x-1)²(x³+x)
bro
what
do you know what a divisor is?
yeah its a trick
translate this
het is deelbaar door x-1 als de som van de coëfficiënten gelijk is aan 0
It's not asking if (A)(B)...(E) are divisible by x-1
oh
It's asking if (x-1)²(x³+x) is divisible by (A)(B)..(E)
ah fuck
can you do it now then?
A is (x-1)(x^2+1) ?
yeah
and what now
$(x-1)²(x³+x) = x(x-1)^2(x^2+1)$
jay.
you need to factor (A), (B), (C), (D), and (E)
if you factor A, you get (x-1)(x^2+1)
you can check that (x-1) and (x^2+1) are both factors of x(x-1)^2(x^2+1), so you can tell that (A) is a divisor
do you know synthetic division
no
yeah
$x^4-2x^3+2x^2-2x+1=(x^4-2x^3+x^2)+(x^2-2x+1)=x^2(x^2+2x+1)+(x^2+2x+1)$
now u'll be able to do it
oh wait
$x^4-2x^3+2x^2-2x+1=(x^4-2x^3+x^2)+(x^2-2x+1)=x^2(x^2-2x+1)+(x^2-2x+1)$
jay.
@cosmic quartz
yeah i dont get E
can you factor this?
no
one more step required
factoring means you express the equation using only multiplication
what is it then
can you factor this?

How I can factorize it?
? Wdym
What Gijs said
Hmm wait
so you get 2u^2 - u - 15
Have I to make an example?
Like
a^4-7a^2-30 = (a^2-10)(a^2+3)
3 is the factor and - 10 is the sum
By the way now I go hope that someone knows it. Goodbye

hello can i please get some help with the following question
did u find d-theta?
i got that, i'm struggling with what to do after actually subbing in 4sin as x
when u sub it in you get sqrt(16-16sin^2theta)
then you can take a factor of 16 out
and it becomes 16(1-sin^2theta)
do u know how to simplify the above?

Hi I am going to need help with this math equation is (4/9)-1/2 and my work of this equation I did is 1/9 1/2 = 1/2 square root 9 = 3 I am confused how to get the exact answer I reference the text but unfortanley I am still lost and I am confused on other math questions also.
Huh?
I need the original equation
Or whatever you're tryna solve
Either put it in mathematically or through latex
The equations you are referring to are unclear, could you show the problem stated?
the original equation is (4/9)^-1/2
That's not an equation but alright
Recall that generally (a/b)^-n is the same as (b/a)^n
So in this case we have (4/9)^-1/2 = (9/4)^1/2, right?
sorry I couldn't put the fraction inside the parenthesis would a picture help noticed the math problem much better?
a picture would help better please
$\parens{\frac49}^{-\frac12}$
Umbraleviathan
here is the picture.
Then this here 
$$(\frac{4}{9})^{-1/2} = (\frac{9}{4})^{1/2} = \frac{9^{1/2}}{4^{1/2}}$$
Also remember that raising to the power of 1/2 is the same as taking square root of the number, meaning that this is the same as
$$\frac{\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{4}}$$
Which is just
$$\frac{3}{2}$$

could someone please help me otu with 2b
have you tried solving an equation?
Looks like they gave you part a for a reason 
but
Why did you equate these?
in part a i used the synthetic division to asnwer it
and the quotient was x^2-3x-4
Yeeaaaa that's not what I meant by the fact that part a would be helpful
You mean you get that as the quotient? The remainder should be zero?
What happens when these two intersect?
Yes, equate those [via their y values being the same], what happens?
How did you clean that up?
like took the left away frm both sides yk
Alright, to be clear, you started with $x^{3} - 3x^{2} - 5x + 8 = 3x^{2} - 10x - 4$ from here, yes?
chartbit
Where did you use that?
i equated to 3x^2-10x-4
k
You first start off with this here
When you rearrange it so that you have zero on one side, you'll see the polynomial you get is the same as in part a, yes?
yes
Now from there, use part (a) 
kk ty
That'll find you your x-coordinates
i got x=-1, x=4
Think there should be another one too?

I have a question how will you solve this equation to get the answer unfortanley I am still lost?
Show your work, and if possible, explain where you are stuck.
All I was able to get is to know the prime factor of 16 is 2 x 8 = 16 and the prime factor of 81 is 3 x 27 =81 for the rest of there I am totally lost
okay
Okay continue doing that
Prime factorise 16 and 81 completely
What do you get
do what alex says, and then it's important to remember the power of a quotient rule
Exponents distribute over multiplication
it's also important to remember what fractional exponents mean
I am honestly lost and I am more confused on those examples

How would you solve this equation because I wasn't able to find a textbook example to solve this similar math equation?
what does it want?
the title of beginning of the page say rational exponents evaluate each expression
do you know the exponent rule for multiplying exponents with the same base?
thats just adding them up together
i was asking OP but yes when two exponents with the same base are multiplied, you add the exponents together and keep the base
I do not know the exponent rule of multiply it together because I learning it as brand new to these math topics which I have never heard about
okay so youve never seen $x^a\cdot x^b=x^{(a+b)}$?
light
would the answer be 5^3/6? This answer can be wrong also
no, thats not how you add the fractions
no it would be 5^(1/3+2/3)
I have a question how will you add the fractions would it be vertically to each other?
Duck Vibin
would the answer just 5 by itself and what will happen to exponent of 5?
yes its just 5

im so confused as to how to solve this question, could someone just guide me as to the steps that i should do please
Do you know when two vectors are parallel?
@tame wave Has your question been resolved?
when their cross product is zero right
but i dont think i can use that here
honestly that actually probably works
much more painful than it has to be, but maybe you should give it a try and see what you get
Not the best solution here
Vectors are parallel if they're a scalar multiple of each other
Say v1 and v2 are your two parallel vectors. Mathematically that means there's a constant C such that v1 = C * v2
hey would this work;
so first i took the parametrics which are
x= 1 + 2s
y= 2 +3s
so then I made it so 1+2s = 12 and it ended up with s being 5.5
but when i plug in that 5.5 for s when trying to solve for the y (or k) coordinate, I get 18.5
The point 1,2 is irrelevant to your problem
Your first vector is (2s, 3s) and you need to figure out the second vector from 12x+ky=0
ooooh, so would s be 6? since 2(6) is 12. therefore my answer wouldbe 18?
@tame wave Has your question been resolved?
i dont understand
12x+ky=0 is not a direction vector
It's the equation of a line through the origin
Write the line in parametric form
Similar to r
sorry, im not really sure how to do that
Let x = t and find a vector v(t)=(t,...) that equals your line
The second component will depend on k
so youre saying that the first component would be 12 then? im not really following
Do the reverse of what she's doing

How to Write Equations in a Slope-Intercept Parametric Equation. Part of the series: SYN - Math & Science Questions. Writing equations in a slope-intercept parametric equation will make them much easier to graph. Write equations in a slope-intercept parametric equation with help from a professional private tutor in this free video clip.
You have a line in slope intercept form. You need to convert it to parametric
So you can compare it to (2,3)s
I mean your answer's close, you're just off by a minus sign I think. But your approach is flawed from the start
which one is in slope intercept form? i thought 12x+ky=0 wasnt intercept form.
It isn't. That's why your answer's wrong
so do i have to convert it to intercept form and then parametric?
Oh yea I was wrong here with my first sentence. My bad
ok i think i finally got it,
i just turned it into intercept form so it was -12/k x = y
then i used the ratio 3/2 from the first equation which is (2,3)
and then i made 3/2 = -12/k , and ended up getting -8. is this also a good way to solve this question or is this just a coincidence?
Perfect
awesome. was that what u were trying to tell me tho? or did i just like figure a different way
because i didn't really use parametric
It's slightly different. Your way is shorter so it's better

so i got box 1 = x
box 2 = y and
box 3 = z
so x = 2/3
y+z= 1/3
x - 56 = z
2y = z
someone help pleasee
let a be the total number of oranges. then x = 2/3 a, y+z = 1/3 a, x-56 = z, 2y = z

i honestly got no clue how to do it
i was thinking of changing base to 1944 and 486root2 but im not sure what to do after that
nah just use some base like log base e
$\frac{\log 1944}{\log 2n} = \frac{\log 486 \sqrt{2}}{\log n}$

Need help, The equation is a parbola so how would one calculate the average slope for that?
average slope is (final point-starting point)/(time)
Yes I do know that
but doesn't the slope for parbola change?
it does but we still keep with the same formula because they want the average
oohhh so the way to calculate slope in this case is litteraly the same?
average slope yes
so in this case difference from 9.6 to whatever the y axis is on 14 yup?
yup
kk ty!
and last question but the average rate of increase and decrease would be litteraly just negative yup?
decrease would bbe negative while increase would be positive
yes but they would be different numbers
?
wait huh
bc of how the function ends at a different y
ohhhhh
yup just got that
so one of the x intercepts is the highest point of the parabola
i was wondering how to put the values of the increase temperature

I found this in a pre-calc textbook, but unable to recollect which part of calc was this in
is it some sort of trig sub ?
The book contains expression used in calculus,
As in here, I was able to figure out that this was applying first principle to x^3+7x +C
similarly, where the other expression shows up in calculus ?
You're not trying to do any problems?
I'm actually just doing the algebra from the textbook
like the exercise only care out factoring
but it's mentioned they shows up in calc, i've already taken calc but couldn't recollect
76 is a difference quotient for derivative of a function at x
this one shows up when you're doing derivatives using the limit definition
yes, that i understood
you can draw a triangle for this one, unless im just dumb\
the first one?
,w int sqrt(1+x^2/(1-x^2))
usually an internal
This will boil down to 1/sqrt(1-x^2) which is actually the differentiation of sin^-1 x
You can probably do almost anything with functions in precalc
Differentiate, integrate
It's kind of a vague and pointless sentence
no my question is, is this some specific setup like first principle ?
Probably arclength
as in this was a specific setup for first principle
yeah that makes sense
arclength of the function integral (x/root(1-x^2))
because arclength L= integral (1+(dy/dx)^2)
Arc length setup for $-\sqrt{1-x^2}$

How to prove this
@solar tendon Has your question been resolved?
<@&286206848099549185>
so basically you didn't expand (1+sin(a))^2 and (1-sin(a))^2 correctly
@solar tendon you here?
can you try re-expanding $(1+sin(a))^2-(1-sin(a))^2$ for the numerator?
starlight
hmm i guess not
I'll try

(1+sin(a))^2 is not 1+sin^2(a)
and (1-sin(a))^2 is not 1-sin^2(a)
remember the expansion (a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2
and (a-b)^2 = a^2-2ab+b^2 (basically same thing as first expansion)
you need to start from here
ok
you basically multiplied the first fraction by 1+sin(a) on both numerator and denominator
and multiplied the second fraction by 1-sin(a) on both numerator and denominator right
to make the denominator common
right
that would make the fraction $\frac{((1+sin(a))^2-(1-sin(a))^2)}{(1-sin(a))(1+sin(a))}$
damnit
can't use texit sorry 
This is wrong
It should be 1/6
starlight
so do you understand why the fraction would turn into this?
You multiply the denominator and crossmultiply?
yep
so do you understand that part?
so assuming that you do, (1-sin(a))(1+sin(a)) = cos^2(a) like you wrote yourself right
basically what i did here except i added the denominator
starlight
That is equal to this?
no
you would have to expand the numerator
(a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2
(a-b)^2 = a^2-2ab+b^2
if we look at (1+sin(a))^2 first
if a = 1, b= sin(a)
can you expand it ?
Im gonna try
very close
if you look at the second parenthesis'
bc it's (1-sin(a))^2
it would be -2sin(a) inside the brackets
instead of 2sin(a)
$\frac{(1+2sin(a)+sin^2(a)) - (1-2sin(a)+sin^2(a))}{cos^2(a)}$
starlight
oof messed up on the sign
but anyways do you understand this?
bc if you do, if you expand the negative sign
you would be able to quite quickly get the desired expression
dang
The denominator has a ^2 on it
can it still be applied?
it's just 4sin(a)/cos(a)*cos(a)
?
then it's easy
nthing
Thanks
really appreciated
now i need to do 9 more of these
goodbye

The positive integer n n is such that n^2+20 is exactly divisible by n+2. What are the possible values of n?
Closed due to the original message being deleted
The positive integer n is such that n^2+20 is exactly divisible by n+2. What are the possible values of n?
How do i do this
Do you know modular arithmetic?
Yup, so n + 2 must be divisible by 24
So n + 2 can be either 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 or 24
Yeah
Note that n + 2 can't be 1 or 2 because it'd make n equal to -1 or 0

in the table, for the first row, should the cost of 0 business cards be 0, or 25 because the design costs 25??
alright, for the rest of the rows I should just multiply the x by 0.05 and then add 25 to fill out the table?
yes
looks good for me
alright
how do we find the equation of an undefined slope which passes through (-1,2)
it would be a vertical line where x doesnt change, right?
how would we make that an equation though
is this a new question or should there be a connection to the business cards?
its a new question
what means "undefined slope"?
ok, i would say you are right with a vertical line where x doesnt change. then the equation will be x = -1.
wait why would it just be -1?
i thought (-1/2) is given?
yes it is
but how do we get -1 from it?
oh wait
nvm i understand
thanks for the help

When we have a function with more than one extremum, is it always the case that a maximum follows a minimum and the other way around?
It seems so, how would you prove it though?
f'' is negative when a maximum occurs, so the graph is concave down. It will be concave down and thus no other extremum occurs until it changes the concavity to concave up, then there will be a minimum
i think u could also do it with a contradiction. Like suppose f(x) is a continous function on the interval [c,d] and has a maximum at x = c. Suppose that the next extremum point is another maximum that occurs at x = d. f'(c+a) where a is a small value will be negative for f(c) to be a maximum. We also know that f'(d-a) will be positive for f(d) to be a maximum. Then you can apply Intermediate Value Theorem which just says that there must be a point where f'(x) = 0 and since we know it is decreasing on the left and increasing on the right, that point must be a minimum. So we have a contradiction and there must be a minimum in that interval.
probably not the best proof tho
(between 2 max if the function doesnt go "down" and only keeps growing, then the first one wasnt a max)

My answer is on the right, why is it wrong, i used: log_a*a^x=x
It's wrong because you aren't in a log_a (a^x) situation yet
is 3 = 9?!?!
glitch in the matrix confirmed
but they used log_ay^r=rlog_ay, its a different formula so using log_a(a^x)=x is probably valid as well?
log_a(a^x) = x follows because of their rule
(And log_a(a) = 1 as starlight mentioned)

@crimson sedge Has your question been resolved?
I think 9
yeah, sorry my battery died,i was talking about proportionality , k
y=kx
k=constant
But the answer is given something else
I could be wrong i havent done much des
My idea was multiplying both sides by the thing to the power of 6
Yes. That is what I thought.
Honestly degree questions are just a scam
Are they saying the answer is 3?
@crimson sedge Has your question been resolved?
Yes. They are saying the answer is 3. How did you get that?
They squared both sides
Which is a very weak logic
Imagine if someone cubes both sides
The answer becomes 2
@crimson sedge Has your question been resolved?
Yes.
No. The answer becomes 4.5
Yea mb, Well then whats stopping us from saying the degree rn is 1.5 💀
It is not in the options given 😂
@crimson sedge Has your question been resolved?
They cannot be fractions, and iirc they didn't square both sides
I remember learning about this, and it's a bunch of bs stuff you have to do to make into non fractions
But in this question, it looks like it can be solved simply by taking the 6th power on both sides, then subtracting that by the given equation by a constant
Finding the constant is your job 🙂

How many triples $(x,y,z)\in\mathbb{N}^3_0$ (so $x$, $y$, and $z$ must be non-zero) exist such that $x+y+z=60$?
Pierre de Fermat
ur asking x+y+z=60 for x,yz belong to natural numbers?
How many*
if its that then this is done using the "stars and bars" thing
what's the subscript 0 for if they must be nonzero 
I don't know it
I have to go sorry someone else can explain
Okay.
Ur daughter
U choose like 3 out of 63
There are 63 twinkling stars and u choose 3 to be the bars
How romantic
you write N_0 for naturals WITHOUT zero???

I am not familiar with this method. Can you advance?
It's in the chapter of the conbinatory
Look at to the stars in ur backyard for inspiration first
Then try to use smaller numbers and draw it out
And then if u don’t get, just@search on YouTube
I gotta shower
Yes it is private from 0

"private from 0"...?
where are you from / what is your native language
France
bc that's literally the reverse of the convention i've seen
Je parle francais
Parfait
i've seen N for naturals starting from 1 and N_0 for naturals starting from 0...
Oui
Bah c'est quoi le trucs des barres je capte rien là.
Too complicate 
bruh chris stop trolling
I can’t handle this level of French
Y'a pas un trucs plus simple ?
You're not from France ?
Oui, Je etudiete francais pars pars je in Canada 
alors on veut compter les trios d'entiers (x,y,z) strictement positifs qui satisfont à l'équation x+y+z=60
Je suis stupide
Oui
ça doit être équivalent à compter les trios non strictement positifs dont la somme est 57
avec un changement de variables x' := x-1, y' := y-1, z' := z-1 ...
et ça peut se compter avec une méthode purement combinatoire
C'est comment en combinatoire ?
C'est ce que je cherche
l'ensemble de tous ces trios est en bijection avec l'ensemble de tous les dispositions en une ligne de 57 pierres blanches et 2 pierres rouges
donc ça fait C(59,2)
C'est donc la combinaison de 59 parmis 2
2 parmi 59, non ?
$\binom{59}{2}$
Ann
Yes
j'avais pensé que ça s'appelle «2 parmi 59»
Non c'est le contraire.

How can I rewrite this in a more “tidy form”?
looks tidy enough to me, lol
well you could rewrite the surd as $\frac{\sqrt{1-2GM}}{\sqrt Rc}$
Anon581
Should I be removing the c^2?
but does this look tidier? 😄
I’m not too sure haha, I’m looking at the sample answer and it removes the c^2
This is all I can think of
Impossible
that’s what it shows
Then some relation is not being shown
what's the question then lol
seems like you might have started with the wrong expression
I've noticed... a lot of people asking questions here often make the XY fallacy: https://xyproblem.info/
Asking about your attempted solution rather than your actual problem
makes it harder to debug the work lol
Yea, it's a pretty common problem
Although the answer to question one is 2.8
in the answer for problem 2
It’s 2.8 replacing the GM
but the c^2 is gone?
so what's the time dilation formula?
Say you evaluated 2GM/c^2 = k for your problem
then c^2=2GM/k
Replace that in your equation and simplify
So does what you say make this solution make sense then
for your problem, it does.
since you evaluated 2GM/c, the only unknown in the resulting equation should be R, yes
Ohh ok
assuming that your calculations were correct, your final answer does look ok
